This uses
addEventListenerinstead ofwindow.onerrorto set the handler for the loader.This way, we avoid infinite recursion when users also do that, e.g. right after loading the loader:
Rundown of the problem:
The root cause for this issue was this new check we added:
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/pull/47311/files#diff-02afb4c480e9e9c8bcc2f5fd8096291fd71d113cc2d50139624c6d890fed6e88L54
So where did this cause issues?
Imagine following setup and order of users' Website
-> Loader script
-> Other script that overwrites
window.onError-> throw an unhandled Error
What was happening is that because of the
ifthis is invoked whenever we the full SDK was loaded but not initialized yet.
Previously it was this:
Since initially
window.onErrorisnullwe caused an endless loop of re-calling the LoaderonErroron the other, the external
onErrorhandler, caused the site to slowly run out of memory.Now we use event listeners instead to not have to deal with overwriting
onError.In the old version where we still dealt with
onErrorcallback - we also caused a bug where we set the handler back tonullregardless if a second one was registered in the meantime.
